Lochsport Queens Birthday Weekend

It always amazes me that just when I think I've taken all the photos I can take of doing the same things at Lochsport, we always manage to find different ones to take.

On another trip to Lochsport with Scott, Tania, Marty and Julie and all the kids, we went out motorbike riding again. This time we went to a spot they found with jumps last time we were there. I lied on the ground just off to the side of the jump to get some shots of the boys having their fun.

These first 2 photos are of Adrian



And this photo is of Marty



And this one is of Scott



Of course Micayla's little 50 is not powerful enough for her to jump. She's now asking for a bigger bike so she can try it. We do need to get her one though, she has outgrown the 50. Adrian is searching the net as I type for a new one for her.



Bailey having a go. He is doing really well, considering he can't put his feet on the ground. Adrian runs along behind him to catch him when he stops.



Then Adrian takes him on his KTM.



This is Marty and Adrian. Tan and I call this their 'having a moment' shot.



This is all 3 of them coming over the jump together. You can just see Adrian if you look hard enough, he's the dot at the back amongst all the bush. I was hoping they would be closer together and have more 'action' in the shot. The jump wasn't 'safe' enough for them to jump together.



It was a nice relaxing weekend as usual. On the Saturday, Julie, Tania and I went for a walk to the supermarket for some supplies. It's a half hour walk one way. We decided to go via the pub to use the toilet. (We couldn't use the one back at the house cause Scott was putting in a new one). We ended up sitting by the open fire with 'a' drink before the half hour walk back to the house. We could've stayed there all afternoon, but we figured we'd better get back considering Tania had her families lunch that she'd just bought at the shop and it was already 1.15pm. At least Adrian already had our kids fed by the time I got back.

The following day, after the bike ride, we sent the boys down to the surf beach with all the kids. Julie and I were going for another walk and Tania was going to the beach with the boys. That was until she heard we were going to stop by the pub for another quite drink. We ended up having 2 while sitting on the lounge in the window watching the sunset over the water. Then went via the bottle shop, bought the boys another slab, carried it on my shoulder to the fish and chip shop to buy dinner and then organised for one of the boys to pick us up (Thanks Scott). In the meantime, the boys were back at the house showering all the kids and getting them into their pj's ready for bed. Well done boys! We thought that they may not be too happy about having to come out and get us, so we made a bit of a joke about it. We were sitting in the gutter at the fish and chip shop pretending to be a bit drunk and drinking their beer. I don't think they saw the funny side of it like we did, pmsl.

The kids are getting older and more capable so we thought it was time they pulled their weight, LOL. We were putting them into slave labour and they did the dishes for us some of the weekend, while we sat back and relaxed with full tummies. They earned themselves some decent pocket money at the end of the weekend for doing it though. Now we know we are onto a good thing and we are going to milk it everytime we go away for as long as we can.
